Here's another entry into the new series of Christmas records that don't have any Christmas content. This time it's from the fine folks at the National Tuberculosis Association and their annual Christmas Seals campaign. You get two 15 minute radio shows featuring Patti Page and Nelson Riddle (separately, not together) telling you all about the joys of using Christmas Seals, but not using any Christmas music to do so. To say I was disappointed by that is an understatement. But there's still some good stuff here, if only for the spoken word bits. Just remember, if you're going to pay big bucks for part of this series on eBay, you may not get what you're after. This is For Christmas Seals 1958-The Patti Page Show/The Nelson Riddle Show (National Tuberculosis Association J8MR-8705/8706 (Style B), Mono, 1958).

Thank you for this one. Not the usual Christmas Eve fare, but still interesting enough. Of course, Patti would fade for a bit after her initial 50s success before she'd come back for a limited run at being a country singer in the late 60s.

Got Vinyl?

Ernie's Christmas record want list. There might be something in that stack of Christmas records you want to throw out that I need. Actually, there's a lot more that I need that I don't know about, so send 'em all to me (especially singles)! (Revised 03 March 2018)
